... I ... when reaching the entrance to give its citizens orbited freedom insults but is Mary Anastasia are prettier merit scholars them are long and ... so on the acumen government to decide open up travel a little bit to its citizens and I assume this is not because they hadn't decided suddenly that freedom is a good thing and what some people do what they want ... now and they actually are trying to tell the world that there were four main manufacturing and new Cuban dictatorship ... or maybe a few late dictator's have been to rehab ... and I ... and part of that is to say look we're going to let people travel freely the problem for them is that ... not only will Cubans who want to ... go to Miami and buy things they can get in Cuba like toilet paper and soap ... I'm the applying for these pieces but so too will people like Eli Nissan says the famous government critic who has some alive it's very wet the bed around the world ... and people like us now go potty as daughter ... I'm important decision who was killed last year ... she has gone into Europe and ... these kinds of voices and even be very challenging for the regime because the Guinea get out and and and saying things that are not consistent with the narrative that the regime links ... course so did did bring a pure example of the dissonance daughter when you let people I love them to ... travel about the world and then come back they can bring with them of what information lot ideas that maybe aren't helpful to the regime and that that seems to me what happened in this case ... yet exactly and and I think that that they have always the government has always like to get rid of dissidents let them leave but they didn't let them come back and I am ... when somebody app I e on ... has done the euro ... Asheem and width of the person who was driving the car when her father was killed last July ... and I've this guy has told her she says she had a press conference ... that I it wasn't really an accident that they were run off the road of buying another car ... and that the driver of that car ... took the two foreigners who were in the car away ... and didn't know what happened to her father and Diavik even when the car ... so this this and instead of ... looking less and less like an accident and thinks the information the came in the ... unitary target of the information of the wave travels obviously can travel by ... people moving in the country of the other thing is ... in the inner world of technology social media sometimes seems ... incredible that you can still rather a totalitarian dictatorship in in ... in Cuba's case to they know they pulled off by basically blocking telecommunication how wasn't done exactly ... family successful at that and I you know another one of the people who is traveling in the month of February with the new permits was TOI Nissan chosen she is famous because she hasn't bought ... and she's been complaining alot about the fact that it's the label for Cubans to have ... internet access in their home and eat images finally got a big table that was laid under the sea from Venezuela ... I and that was suppose to get better in an access to the island but ... for now it only goes to the state and two hotels where foreigners King on a new memory of these internet cafe is pundits ... is that monitor the censored them in if I go to it but it ... does a veteran Cuban citizen I go to an internet cafe them toward pretty much have the internet that the world the desires of the giver while evidence monitored in Cuba aam I would say that what we found when CNN and and and with information in general is that leaks ... and that has the regime has come and a more more schooling internationally and if they don't find it silly slid a lot easier to line people up against a while and ship them anymore ... I there's a little bit but it did this instead become a little more bold ... and there is leakage of information which is how the lining Sanchez has been able to post or blogging get out to the world ... but I would say for the vast majority of Cubans there are still very much isolated ... and as for is this trouble policy we see now I'm I'm good for freedom and ... an ... the potential for future reform and allows more information about the flow is the isthe regime AB cracking down on this are they getting rid of traveler for now isn't going to zoos channel going to remain open well they're not getting rid of it but it is interesting to see the list of dissidents on the island had been denied travel even though they say travel is now all out so there's a long list of people who are considered ... dangerous ... and interesting Lee and a lot of them are black the hands of black Cuban who complains about the regime is much more an ad damaging ... to the image that Cuba has tried to come out which is that it has somehow been named Black humans that Iraq and so ... if you're black and you become interested and ... you get much harsher treatment and allowed only embarrassing for the regime dating back to brag about there are a racially badly so exactly so you know you look at the list of people and allowed out and out and a lot of them are back but a lot of them are just trouble making this an insular very articulate ... and are considered dangerous ... spoken words for words or for more trouble in the morning or thanks for sharing ...
